"Contract is not available for trading" => Le contrat n’est pas disponible pour la négociation
Les ETP qui m'intéressent et qui sont concernés sont les suivants : QQQ / TLT / TQQQ / TMF / ZROZ.
Vous trouverez ci-dessous la réponse de IB a ma question,, il s'agirait de restrictions des régulateurs européens. Je suis d'autant plus étonné de la réponse, que des acteurs bien moins prestigieux, tel que DEGIRO, proposent les ETF QQQ / TLT librement.
A titre informatif, avez-vous accès à ces supports sur votre compte IB? Je m'interroges si une configuration de compte pourrais être à l'origine du problème.
Vous trouverez ci-dessous les échanges par mail.
Encore merci pour votre aide.

Dear Mr. Chevalier,
Thank you for contacting Interactive Brokers’ client services team.
Opening orders from retail investors residing in the European Economic Area (EEA) who attempt to enter an opening order that are associated with a product that does not comply with the EU's Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Product Regulation (PRIIPS) will be rejected. The regulation is intended to enhance understanding of these products through the provision of disclosure documentation. This documentation is referred to as the Key Information Document (or "KID") which. The KID provides information such as product description, costs, risks & performance.
In terms of opening new positions - we do not have a timeframe as to when (or if) these will be updated or tradable again. You should be able to close any open position, including any ETF, through your trading software.
The products that this applies to have returns associated with a reference value and include derivatives (options and futures), ETFs, ETNs, funds and certain debt instruments. It does not apply to stock, FX and standard bonds.
Orders will be rejected if the manufacturer, or issuer, of the product has decided not to provide the KID required to distribute the product to EEA retail residents.
Note that this restriction does not apply to existing positions subject to the KID requirement that you are attempting to close. For more information about these restrictions please reference the IB knowledge base article entitled, "PRIIPs Regulation” at LINK../2993
Although you may not be able to open a new position in that ETF symbol due to the European Economic Area regulations but you can still click on Close or use the to right-click Close button on any position in the TWS/Mosaic/Web Trader/IBKR Mobile to close an open position. If you are still unable to close an open position through the trading software, you can call the IB Trade Desk and they can place a closing marketable order.
